Nothing quite matches rooting for one of your favorites in one of the biggest fights of year.

Damn straight. But I love rooting for guys like Matthysse/Martinez/Rosado who've had rough patches in their careers and come back even stronger. You want them to succeed that much more. If I consider you one of my favorite fighters, it's not only because of your style or how good your resume is.

True, when fighters come back from the failure to top again, it really makes you happy and proud you stuck through the rough patches with them, in my case Cotto, Martinez, and Ortiz. Watching mastery of his craft, like Moreno is also fascinating to me. Gamboa is just too damn exciting to dislike.
